Onl y million dollars ministers can afford this camera

Check this one out, a Leica that costs S$40,000, almost as much as what Tan Yong Soon paid at Le Cordon Bleu.

Sorry but the moment you have a meter, you'd need a battery of some sort, even if it's hidden.

Well, in fact I used it.

My dad bought in in the late 60s and he was very proud of the camera and it's brand...just like the Hero brand from China.

Well I could be one of those Ah Tiong who has a BSc First class honours and a MSc from Imperial College. But this Ah Tiong is smart enough to emigrate to Canada in 1991.

Ah Tiong king.

For me I inherited this from my dad..

Wah, this one the company collasped long time.
The factory in Kg. Chai Chee, right?

The company is insolvent but I think the brand's still alive.

The manufacturing plant in Chai Chee closed many years ago. For a long while though, people swore by their products. I was in the UK in the 90s when I met a fellow traveller (a European). When he found out I was from Singapore, he dug into his bag and fished out an old-fashioned looking camera.

'This camera is made in Singapore! Best camera I ever had.'

It was of course a Rollei.
